So I'm just starting to get into archery. I've had a few lessons at a range (originally a Christmas present) and so far I've shot a longbow, barebow and compound, with one more on the Olympic recurve soon.
Archery is definitely something I'd love to keep doing. So far I've been able to get most of my shots inside the gold at 10 or 12 metres.
My preferred method of shooting is barebow. I like that it's more traditional, which I guess is because as a kid I loved Robin Hood (still do tbh) and things like that, and I also prefer aiming by 'feel' rather than using a sight.
So here are my questions (I'll also be asking the coaches at the range the same things).
BOW: the bow I'm looking at for now is the Samick sage. It's the equal cheapest at my range, and the look fits with the traditional feel I'm going for. I've seen heaps of people say this is a great beginner bow, with hardly any negatives. The other option in the same price range is the galaxy aspire, but that had a magnesium riser which I've read isn't as good.
ARROWS: the cheapest ones (like Aeros, which are what I've been using so far) are $5AUD each. As I'd only be shooting at targets, I assume these would be fine. I'll be building my set up on a budget, and obviously you get what you pay for, but I'm wondering whether it would be worth going for sightly more expensive arrows.
SHOOTING: To start with I'd only shoot at the range (18 metres indoors) but was wondering whether it's legal to shoot in my backyard? I'm not sure about the law in Australia, but I assume it would be the same in most countries.
ACCESSORIES: Finally, things like armguards, firing gloves/finger tabs and quivers. I do like working with my hands and making models/painting, and was hoping some people here face any experience in making their own? Especially a quiver, I'd love to make and design by own, but I'm not sure what material it would have to be to securely store my arrows.
Anyway, thanks for reading my dissertation, and thank you in advance for any answers you can help me with (even if it's only one!)
I've loved every minute of my archery so far, and having my own personal set up is something I'd really love to build up to.
Happy shooting!
